1024 Alpha Vs Alpha Looking up at the sky, the night stars could be seen twinkling above. The moon wasn’t fully out, around half of it was showing. Slowly, Ylva’s transformation started to revert, as her white fur decreased, and her claws were reverting back to normal. Eventually, she stood up from the ground and looked around. “This is the outside food court and parking area?” Ylva said. When she looked right ahead, she could see the three distinctive holes in the wall off in the distance. “It was easier to get out of that place than I thought,” Ylva said, as she tugged on her shirt, making sure the placement was right. Since her Werewolf form didn’t change her size much, her clothing was perfectly intact despite transforming. When she went to take a step forward, she felt a large pain in her abdomen. “He hits quite hard, that one,” Ylva took a deep breath and continued walking over to one of her guards. They too had shrunken and reverted back to their original size. She could see him moving, and slowly, he got up off the ground, in far more pain than her. “Come on, let’s get Uventus and get out of here,” Ylva said. “It seems we aren’t his main target for today.” As the two walked over to where Uventus was, though, they could see blood dripping down his front. She could hear it—his heart was no longer beating. Uventus had taken a slightly stronger hit than the two of them, and he wasn’t going to make it back. “Pick him up, and let’s bring him back,” Ylva said. “He deserves to head back to Lost City.” After picking up their ally, the two of them rushed off, planning to leave the city and not come back for a long time. Looking around, they could see that the area of the stadium had been cleared. It was no wonder the Zodiacs along with others were so busy. The One Gang was incredibly large, yet so few were inside the stadium, and it was most likely to clear the area. From her observation, nearly all of the planning was done by the one known as Stanley by their side. As Ylva continued to run, and eventually they headed into a more green area where they could use the trees and branches, she started to think back to the situation. ‘It seems I underestimated Harvor’s strength, and I would guess that Lupus has as well. Still, I think out of the two of them Lupus would still win… but…’ “What is it that you are worried about?” Bartho asked while still carrying their ally on his back. “Is it about Harvor? What would happen if the One Gang was to attack us because of this? We already have a lot to deal with, it will be difficult.” “No, that’s not it,” Ylva replied. “I can see why you’re thinking the way you are because after that altercation, there is no chance for the Howlers to survive. They will be eliminated after today.” “But you see, as the Luna of our pack, I have to prepare a bit more. While Lupus has his great strength, I have to protect the pack in other ways, so I have to think of the worst outcome.” “Which is?” Bartho asked. Ylva didn’t answer, instead, she left her thoughts to herself. She had originally helped out Gary Dem and the other Alpha because of knowledge that she had learned. ‘If two powerful Alphas face each other, they will grow in strength exponentially as they try to take the other out. After a long battle, the winner, by consuming the other, will gain an immense amount of strength.’ ‘It will be a great strength that will allow us to no longer be surprised by them. This is why I had planned to save Gary Dem.’ ‘The plan was for him to best Harvor and grow stronger and then at least be somewhat of a challenge for Lupus, helping him grow.’ ‘However, Harvor is far stronger than I expected. If Gary were somehow able to defeat Harvor, and in the end consume him as well… there is a chance that he would be too powerful for Lupus to deal with…’ Ylva knew that Lupus didn’t see Gary Dem as a big threat, even after witnessing his strength against Sin. Right now, the bigger trouble was the Altered Hunters who had targeted him. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 No doubt that someone else was behind forcing them to make a move, but a bigger threat might grow because of that. ‘Wait, did they plan this all along? Have they been supporting the other Alpha in the shadows? The timing of the attack from the Altered Hunters, it was just as our attention was focused on them.’ This made it even more clear to Ylva: if they were supporting the other Alpha, then there was a good chance that Gary Dem could still win this fight against Harvor. ‘If that’s the case, I need to come up with a backup plan of sorts. A sure way so that our side can win no matter what.’ Ylva thought about it as she leapt through the forest, right past her ally and landed on the ground. They were now on some type of mountain pass where a car was stationed with another member of the pack waiting for them. There weren’t many words exchanged, but they had carefully put the body of the fallen ally into the car. “Hey, do you remember that guy who was really annoying and eventually got kicked out, what was his name again?” Ylva asked. “Are you talking about Midwak?” Bartho replied. “Yeah, that’s him. Let’s go pay him a little visit before we head back.” **** For updates for MWS and future works, please remember to follow me on my social media below.
